Hai Guanchao was still unconvinced, and he didn't know how to make up for it by himself, "I'll give you an idea."
"You have a lot of research on perfume." Xie Lingya complained, "Thank you, if I can make the top note, middle note and back note, what kind of finance would I learn."
Xie Lingya asked Shanghai Guanchao and Fang Zhe to fight for him when he was making the fragrance pearl. There are twelve kinds of raw materials for Jiang Zhenxiang, such as agarwood, green wood, black ginseng, white sandalwood, etc., with agarwood being the most used. Proportionally, a serving of three ounces of black ginseng requires three catties of agarwood. .
After pounding and sieving, add the dried jujube meat, and pound another 30,000 times. There is no shortcut to this step, it is dry pounding, fine pounding, and continuous pounding. Moreover, various materials were pounded separately in front, and the three of them could not pound the incense all the time, so it took several days.
After pounding, it should be steamed for a day, plus three catties of white rice, and continue to be pounded together, then rolled into balls and dried in the sun.
After the incense beads are made, you can smell the tranquil aroma without burning them. Xie Lingya deliberately made more of them. At this time, each person gave out one that was worn with thread, "This wear can drive away evil spirits."
The incense beads were as big as chicken heads. He sniffed a small amount in his hands, and boasted, "Mr. Xie is really amazing, and the incense beads made by him smell very good."
Hai Guanchao couldn't help laughing and said, "Have you ever smelled other incense beads?" He didn't say anything, and Xie Lingya didn't do this alone. He and Fang Zhe helped to make the incense.
Xiaoli: "Uh... Anyway, I think Teacher Xie should do the best!"
Xie Lingya said proudly: "Why not? In "Sea Medicine Materia Medica", it is said that the best real incense beads, burn them, or lead cranes to descend, sacrificing the stars, burning this incense is the first. Test it. There is also a saying that the altar burned it, and the innocent jade girl heard it and descended into the void. Look at it and see if I can attract the jade girl."
Hai Guanchao joked: "If it's a jade girl, it's better to have a front, middle and back tone. Girls like this. However, aren't you doing a ritual in the underworld?"
Xie Lingya: "...forget it."
…
When Ning Wanlai was doing something for Li Dongdong, he came again. When he came, Xie Lingya gave him a few real incense and told him to burn it at home. Maybe he was not so afraid.
"Teacher Xie, as you said, I explained to my relatives about the impermanence." Ning Wanlai's original troubles have not been resolved, but this time there are new troubles, "I finally got my parents to believe, but My mother is now thinking about how to get me this errand every day, asking around for those masters and goddesses and taking me to see them."
"You said you've already found me!" Xie Lingya said.
Ning Wanlai: "I said it, my mother said... multi-pronged approach, she found the countryside from the temple."
Previously, Xie Lingya asked Ning Wanlai to mentally prepare, it was unlikely that the ritual would be successful in one go. It is said that in the past, some people did not know whether to call it unlucky or competent.
Mother Ning was worried if she knew that, and thought about finding more help at the same time, whether she could be removed as soon as possible.
"Your mother is worried about you, pay more attention, don't let her be deceived." Xie Lingya reminded.
"That's what I thought!" Ning Wanlai said, "That guy, who is unreliable at first glance, even buys a talisman from someone!"
Although Ning Wanlai was terribly frightened, he was someone who had gone through impermanence anyway, and could vaguely distinguish a little bit. It's a pity that his mouth is not as good as those magic sticks, and people can explain it to the past, no matter how the hell it sounds.
Just as he was talking, Ning Wanlai answered a phone call, "Hello? Mom, I'm holding Yangguan and just finished the ritual... It's not mine, it's for Li Dongdong."
He listened to it for a while, and his expression became strange: "Belly fairy? Home? ... Ah, okay, you wait!"
After Ning Wanlai hung up the phone, she couldn't help laughing and crying: "My mother said that she found a special belly fairy and wanted her to negotiate with the underworld for me. Teacher Xie, do you know what that is?"
Xie Lingya also laughed, "This is easy to understand, and it is also a kind of inviting ghosts. The belly fairy claims that there are immortals in her belly, and the immortals can help them to travel between the yin and yang worlds. people to communicate."
Ning Wanlai blurted out: "How is this possible! What kind of immortal can be attached to a person's stomach, and he doesn't dislike it next to his intestines!"
Xie Lingya touched the doll on his shoulder and said, "Actually, I have always wanted to say that this doll of mine is an ear-reporting god, and also has a 'god' attached to it."
Ning Wanlai: "..."
Ning Wanlai was thinking about whether this was true or not, but Xie Lingya said nonchalantly, "I have never communicated with this kind of belly fairy. It is said that this is voice-changing and ventriloquism. However, the so-called fairy is not necessarily a true fairy, Many earth immortals, ghosts, and spirits also claim to be immortals."
For example, the ear-reporting God is not the true God. There are no absolutes in the world, and there is a "fairy" with a strong taste if the protection is not complete, just like living in the stomach of a person.
In addition, Xie Lingya has heard the saying that many of the "immortals" in the belly of the belly fairy are debts owed to the host in previous lives, so they came to serve and repay the debts.
"Teacher Xie, then can you come back with me and see what the path of the belly fairy woman is." Ning Wanlai has seen a lot of magic sticks these days, and deeply feels that although some people are incompetent, they are really good-natured. Like what the fuck. Mr. Xie is a real professional, and his eloquence is not bad. It is best to help him.
"Okay." Xie Lingya agreed very eloquently, and the two went to Ning Wanlai's house together.
…
…
"My mother said that she usually has to go to the fairy's house to see it. She took a lot of effort to invite people to my house, and then she didn't know where she heard the rules. She said that the first one is the most intelligent. It's best to see it when the peach blossoms are blooming." Ning Wanlai relayed the fucking words to Xie Lingya on the way.
Xie Lingya was noncommittal, no matter what, he had to see the deity to know.
When he arrived at Ning Wanlai's house, both his parents were there, and the legendary belly fairy, about forty years old, was also at his house.
"This is Teacher Xie from Baoyangguan." Ning Wanlai introduced Xie Lingya to his parents.
Ning Muguang heard him say Teacher Xie, Teacher Xie, but she didn't expect Teacher Xie to be so young, and was a little surprised for a while.
The belly fairy listened and looked at Xie Lingya a few times, but her expression was still very reserved, "Why did you invite others to come, so I should go back?"
"Don't, it's all here. We arranged the ritual in Baoyang Temple, but it has nothing to do with this side. The ritual belongs to the ritual. Fairy, you see this is my son. He passed out a few times. It's too pitiful. ." Ning's mother quickly pulled the belly fairy, "Look, can you invite the fairy to the underworld to talk about love?"
"I thought you were going to Guan Xian, but when you came, you said you were asking the immortal to intercede." Guan Xian just invited the ghost below to ask questions. It seems that the belly fairy didn't know about Ning Wanlai's situation beforehand, and some of them were wrong. , "This requires a lot of affection, and the immortals are not necessarily willing to owe this face."
"Please give it a try, we can come out if you need something," said Mother Ning.
"Then let me give it a try, and ask the immortal first." After the fairy woman said, she sat up and asked Ning Wanlai to come to her and ask a few things about his overcast.
Ning Wanlai thought that this was a liar too, but he was so sure of it. Fortunately, he invited Teacher Xie this time, so maybe he could believe what he said.
"I'll ask the immortal to go down and ask." Belly Immortal's mouth did not move, and her throat began to make a sound like vomiting, which seemed to symbolize that the immortal in her stomach broke away from her body and went to the underworld.
Ning Wanlai was just about to turn around and say something to Xie Lingya, when he suddenly twitched and lay down stiffly, his breath was weak, and his eyes were tightly closed.
"Son!" Ning's mother and Ning's father rushed up anxiously and looked at the other two, "Mother Xian, Teacher Xie, is he overcast again?"
"Exactly, the immortal has not turned around at this time, and I will ask the immortal where he went to spend his yin." Belly Immortal said.
Father Ning and Mother Ning looked at Xie Lingya again.
Xie Lingya hadn't reacted yet. He wanted to open his eyes when the belly fairy invited the immortal, but Ning Wanlai fell down. When someone stared at him, he hesitated: "Or... I'll ask someone to ask?"
Father Ning, Mother Ning: "..."
If Ning Wanlai said that Xie Lingya was very powerful, they would all think that Xie Lingya was a liar. This unexpected performance was an unsure tone.
The belly fairy was also happy. She gave Guan Xian to people, some are accurate and some are not, and it is not allowed to say that the immortal is tired. But this family has a self-proclaimed impermanence - I don't know if it is true or not, it may be a disease - let her ask for mercy.
She was thinking about how to make up the lyrics when the child fainted. And the young man from the Taoist temple was also stunned, but it seemed that she was very calm. It was all practiced!
"Move to the bed first, you may not be able to wake up for a while." Xie Lingya said, going to move Ning Wanlai with Father Ning, but she saw Madam Duxian suddenly jumped over.
Mother Ning screamed, "Fairy woman, fairy woman?" She asked with a white face, "Has she been punished by the underworld?"
Xie Lingya saw the complexion of Duxian Po's face and lips, and said, "Hurry up and call an ambulance, it looks like a sickness."
"That's right, an ambulance." Mother Ning hurriedly called an ambulance. The two of them fainted at home, and she was stunned.
The ambulance came quickly and carried Duxian Po, and Mother Ning informed Duxian Po's family.
Ning Wanlai didn't get in the car, and it was useless for him to go to the hospital. Or Xie Lingya went to the messenger to ask, it is more reliable when this errand will be completed.
The messenger told Xie Lingya, "Mr. Xie Rong Qi, this time it only takes half a day, it's a very close errand."
Xie Lingya turned around and told Ning's father and Ning's mother. They were dubious. Ning Wanlai had been dizzy for two days before, but this time it only took half a day. Is it true
Xie Lingya stayed at his house. After a long time, Ning Wanlai gradually woke up, and Ning's father and Ning's mother were convinced.
"You went on a very close errand?" Xie Lingya asked.
Ning Wanlai sat up slowly, wanting to cry without tears, "Isn't it very close, that belly fairy, her life is up, tell me to take her away."
Everyone: "..."
Ning Wanlai: "I took it in the ambulance. She howled when she saw me, thinking I was dead and came to seek revenge for her."
Everyone: "..."
Ning Wanlai felt a little emotional when she thought about it.
When the belly fairy saw that he was going to take her away, she screamed and howled: "I lied to your family, but I didn't cause your illness, and it's not my insistence that your parents don't send you to the hospital!"
This is Ning Wanlai only to know that this fairy woman didn't believe that he was really impermanent, and thought that he fainted and fell ill!
After listening to Ning's mother, she called the hospital. Sure enough, she learned that the belly fairy died suddenly in the ambulance. It was caused by a cerebral infarction. It was too fast and too sudden.
Although he heard from his son about his impermanence, but with such confirmation by his side, Ning Wanlai's parents still couldn't recover for a long time.
"Uncle Ning, Aunt Ning, Ning Wanlai himself is impermanent, don't look at what he is afraid of, but the relationship is much tougher than those who know it indirectly, whether it's true or false. He can't even beg himself. , other people's face may not be as big as him, you can ask, many people have to ask impermanent people to ask about the underworld." Xie Lingya persuaded before leaving, "I will try my best, but I can't guarantee the time. This kind of thing really can't be rushed, you usually better be cautious."
Xie Lingya also showed his hand and told them when Ning Wanlai would wake up. In addition, there was a belly fairy at home this time, and Ning's father and mother were also frightened.
At this time, Ning Wanlai said it again, and they agreed immediately, and they would not spend money arbitrarily in the future. Let's leave this matter to Teacher Xie!
Xie Lingya was more cautious about the ritual for Ning Wanlai. He wanted to do it together with Shi Changxuan. The two of them fasted for seven days before taking a bath.
In fact, Xie Lingya can do it alone, but Baoyang Temple is open, and people come and go to watch the practice. . Speaking of prudence, it is not because of the two people, but because he chose Shi Changxuan.
On the appointed day, Ning Wanlai's family came.
Xie Lingya prepared wine, white rice, dried dates, fruits and other offerings, and placed three stoves on the left and right of the altar. At this time, the real incense was poured. From the beginning to the end of the ceremony, the smoke of the spices could not be cut off.
Taoism attaches great importance to incense sticks. In the past, if a person who took part in a puja knocked over the incense, he would be fined 2 catties of incense, and if the smoke broke during the puja, he would be fined 4 catties of oil. There are many regulations, and so on.
"The messenger of the incense official, the dragon and tiger kings left and right, and the real meeting of the hundred spirits will be before this incense. May the believers in front of the altar be blessed by the world and serve the incense officials. "Shi Changxuan gave a congratulatory message and incense, and then prayed again.
Xie Lingya was on the side and lit the incense when he was congratulating him. I saw three strands of cigarettes curling up, accompanied by Shi Changxuan's congratulatory sound, slowly rising and floating very high.
Ning Wanlai also closed his eyes and prayed silently in front of the altar, begging all the great gods, let me burn half of my monthly salary, and stop asking me to be a temporary worker.
Xie Lingya recited the scriptures by the side, and also recited in his heart, hoping that the cigarette could convey his wishes.
Because of the size of Baoyang Temple, it is impossible to create a place for the meeting. Every time, everyone is casually watching. This time, there are many people watching, but they are very conscious and quiet.
But when Xie Lingya was closing his eyes and meditating in silence, he suddenly heard a commotion, frowned and opened his eyes, and was momentarily shocked—
…
Believers or tourists at Baoyang Temple stand around the altar to watch Shi Changxuan and Xie Lingya do their work, and even ordinary people find it pleasing to the eye. There are also a small number of such, also watching from the sidelines.
Shi Changxuan was wearing the same red vest with cranes embroidered on the back when Xie Lingya first met him.
The smoke from the real incense beads rose to the sky and hovered in the air.
At this time, there were eight or nine white birds flying in the sky from the main hall. Only the birds with black wings on their necks, flapped their wings and traveled through the smoke for two weeks, and landed gracefully on the altar, standing with their heads held high. , Neck Qingming!
Taking a closer look, the shape of these birds is similar to the embroidery on Shi Changxuan's dharma robe. !
The scene was suddenly boiling, and while the ritual was being done, a group of cranes came.
The more loyal believers were even more excited at this time. Most Taoist immortals rode cranes. For example, Zhang Tianshi also rode cranes, and the place where he learned Taoism was called Heming Mountain. It is also said in "Supplementary Notes" that the immortals often ride dragons and cranes.
In the Taoist classics, only high mana can attract cranes.
Even ordinary passers-by feel that it is very magical, and they have already picked up their mobile phones to shoot. Even if they don't know about cranes and Taoism, Chinese people also know that cranes represent longevity and good luck, etc. It is a coincidence that it appears in Buddhist affairs, and the meaning is too good! Didn't you see the cranes still embroidered on the long back
"Quick, come see the cranes!"
"My mother, Taoist priest, called Xianhe during her practice."
Immediately, even the people in the hall came out to watch.
Xiaoliang's brain exploded, he remembered what Teacher Xie said a few days ago, burning the real incense, or attracting cranes...
Or attract the cranes! Jiang Zhenxiang is too awesome!
Xiaoliang took the first two steps, looked up at Xie Lingya, and said excitedly, "Teacher Xie, Jiang Zhenxiang really attracted the cranes!"
Xie Lingya was also stunned for a while, then calmly said: "Stop talking nonsense, call the zoo to see if their red-crowned cranes have been lost."
Small amount: "..."
…
The red-crowned crane, which was called the crane in ancient times, is now a national first-class protected animal.
Several red-crowned cranes were still strolling on the altar, and they even lowered their heads to eat the offerings. The people at the scene were in an uproar because of them, and the ceremony was forced to stop. Xie Lingya carried these cranes, who were not afraid of people, into the room.
Ning Wanlai's family also stayed, and they didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Although it is said that the crane will be suspended, but the meaning seems to be very good...
Xie Lingya and Ning Wanlai made an appointment to do it next time, and then called the zoo. There is no nature reserve for red-crowned cranes around Tuyang, so it must be related to places like zoos.
Sure enough, after calling them, they found that the zoo was also in a hurry. They brought in ten red-crowned cranes from a forest zoo. As a result, because they did not cut their feathers, the handover was chaotic.
Only two were recovered, and the whereabouts of the other eight were unknown. It was only after receiving a phone call that I found out that they had actually fallen into Baoyang Temple.
Xie Lingya suspected that they were hungry and attracted by the food, or they were in a busy city and felt that Baoyangguan was quiet and comfortable. But as soon as he said that, Hai Guanchao said, "You are too unconfident! Why can't this come from Wen Jiang Zhen Xiang?"
Xie Lingya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You must improve in this respect, that's why you came to listen to my sermons, just like a little fox."
Hai Guanchao: "This is not bad..."
…
With so many people at the scene, Xie Lingya and the others have their turn to speak. Everyone has their own opinions.
These red-crowned cranes landed so coincidentally, Baoyangguan was doing things, so dramatic, when Xie Lingya was still in contact with the zoo, the video of the landing of the cranes was posted on the Internet.
When a Taoist temple was doing deeds, the Taoist priest wearing the robes of cranes attracted a group of real cranes. Is this the rhythm of becoming an immortal
Sensational headlines like this spread quickly, and videos spread from local forums and circles of friends to various platforms in minutes.
Among them, the best video was shot by a crowd standing beside the altar. He originally wanted to shoot a ritual, but as he was filming it, one, two, three flew out from the top of the high hall. Only... Eight red-crowned cranes, graceful in appearance, and faint smoke lingered, lining the old hall, like a scene in an ancient painting.
The voice-over clearly has a "cuckoo" sound, and the camera moves up a bit.
Immediately afterwards, several cranes flapped their wings and fell, and two people stood among the green smoke on the altar, one with his back to the camera, and the red vest was embroidered with lifelike cranes.
The other person was facing the direction of the camera. Originally, his eyes were closed. When the crane landed, he just opened his eyes because of the movement. Those very beautiful smiling eyes also showed a hint of surprise.
The shooting quality is a bit poor, but the picture is really good-looking and immortal.
Afterwards, the camera shot was relatively shaky, and it seemed that it was accidentally cut off, and a later shot was added. The ceremony was already suspended. Two handsome guys who were doing the ritual were picking up the red-crowned crane to take away—actually, several people were helping. But netizens paid attention to the two when they watched the video.
Especially the one in the red robe, no matter how you look at him now, he is also immortal, with a wide robe and big sleeves, he looks like a crane even if he is holding a goose, not to mention an elegant red-crowned crane.
"The person who took the video at 66666 has been gasping for air. I was breathing in too when I saw it. I didn't expect it before I opened it."
"Which Taoist temple in the deep mountains am I going to? Guguan, Taoist priest, Xianhe, this video of mother is immortal!"
"... Immortal practices?"
"Oh no, isn't this the Taoist temple that saved the fox last time, but the fox refused to leave! I remember the faces of these two very clearly, and they appeared in the photos!"
"Which mountain is this! What is the price of the ritual! I'm going to—"
The author has something to say: Mr. Xie: Thank you everyone. The address of our Taoist Temple is at the intersection of Jingui Pedestrian Street, Jiyang City, facing Liming Square.
